Video: Old and “Shocking” Thomas Edison experiment

Here’s a video of an experiment Thomas Edison conducted in 1903 when researching electricity. In this video, Edison attempts to find what electricity does to an elephant. Look at the elephant’s feet when the electricity is turned on. *Warning: Video may be too shocking for some people*

Although the video is pretty twisted/crazy, it’s interesting to see what happens during the electrocution process. Still, I’m sure they could have found something better/smaller to experiment on than an elephant. Seems like they really wanted to see how it affected elephants.
